  • Publication number: 20200354429
    Abstract: The invention relates to mRNA therapy for the treatment of fibrosis and/or cardiovascular disease. mRNAs for use in the invention, when administered in vivo, encode human relaxin, isoforms thereof, functional fragments thereof, and fusion proteins comprising relaxin. mRNAs of the invention are preferably encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to effect efficient delivery to cells and/or tissues in subjects, when administered thereto. mRNA therapies of the invention increase and/or restore deficient levels of relaxin expression and/or activity in subjects. mRNA therapies of the invention further decrease levels of toxic metabolites associated with deficient relaxin activity in subjects.

  • Patent number: 10557161
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to isolated recombinant human ADA2 proteins, ADA2 biologically active fragments, and ADA2 fusion proteins. The proteins of the invention can be surprisingly used to restore ADA2 activity in subjects having loss-of-function mutations in ADA2 and increase differentiation of monocytes into macrophages, e.g., M2 macrophages, e.g., M2c macrophages, stimulate CD4+ T cell proliferation, and increase endothelial cell development. More specifically, the ADA2 proteins, ADA2 biologically active fragments, and ADA2 fusion proteins of the invention can be used to treat subjects having ADA2-associated diseases or disorders, including but not limited to, polyarteritis nodosa, Sneddon Syndrome, vasculitis, ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, lacunar stroke, aneurysm in the celiac artery, skin rash, skin necrosis, livedo racemosa, hepatosplenomegaly, organ failure, retinal artery occlusion, optic nerve atrophy, diplopia, cranial nerve palsy, strabismus, and low serum IgM.
